This only makes sense if the dead body is the department chair’s.

Yes! Frequently I'm annoyed but this is cozy in all its inaccuracies.

A professor helped move a dead body because his department chair said he could be assistant head

A professor is wearing a mortarboard with a doctoral hood. How gauche.

Watching Murder, She Wrote and Jessica is getting an honorary degree. This episode, a man is fighting to be "assistant department head" of the English department. He's being denied the "promotion" because he hasn't published enough.

WM it's one of my favorite examples of how we used to let people be multifaceted. The textile guy was also a poet? Sure!

Ugh, I love it so much. Having my dining room redone with a WM-inspired print.

I’d like people to notice is how the reviewer and the introduction uses a multi-century movement of peoples to support today’s anti-immigrant argument in Britain.

However you characterize movement from 200-600, it ain’t anything like anything modern. Because FOUR HUNDRED YEARS

idk how to fix this issue bc i think we've all participated and it is *really* hard when we're also all mentally exhausted and furious, but we gotta stop rewarding these assholes with our attention in an attention economy 😭 (not to say we ignore it, but, just like... not giving them hate-reads)

I once rode the train with a youth sitting beside me with a lumpy blanket on their lap. Sure enough, out popped a little friend who was suspiciously quiet for a 5 hour trip.

The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday, missing expectations.
That was short of January's gain of 126,000 jobs, and worse than the gain of 50,000 jobs that economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected to see.

Look, as a meat eater who married a basically lifelong vegetarian, and this became 80-90% vegetarian, this is a big chunk of how we survive so I need the fake meat to continue having a market
